Abstract

If A is a set of positive integers, let R1(n) be the number of solutions of a + a' = n, a, a' $ \in $ A, and let R2(n) and R3(n) denote the number of solutions with the additional restrictions a < a', and a $ \leq $ a' respectively. The monotonicity properties of the three functions R1(n), R2(n), and R3(n) are studied and compared.
